Cyber Monday is a big shopping event in the US and it is no wonder that AMD has some neat deals lined up which include GPUs, CPUs, APUs, SSDs as well as AMD based notebooks and gaming system from various US based retailers/e-tailers like Newegg, Amazon, Tiger Direct, Best Buy and others.

When it comes to graphics cards, probably the best deal is on XFX Double Dissipation R9-290XEDFD Radeon R9 290X 4GB graphics card which is now available at Newegg.com for US $299.99. In case you are shopping for something cheaper, Tiger Direct has XFX's Radeon Double D R9 270X 2GB on sale for US $149.99, which is not a bad graphics card either. For those looking for a neat entry-level graphics card, Newegg.com also has the ASUS HD7770-DC 1GD5-V2 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition on sale for US $54.99.

There are plenty of AMD-based notebooks and gaming systems on sale for Cyber Monday and Newegg.com has a neat Acer E5-551-89TN 15.6-inch notebook based on AMD's A8-7100 APU with Radeon R5 series graphics, 6GB of RAM, 1TB HDD and Windows 8.1 64-bit OS, all for US $379.99. Best Buy on the other hand has a CyberPowerPC gaming system on sale based on AMD's FX-6300 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 1TB of HDD and Windows 8.1 OS. Although we doubt that you could get some rather impressive level of detail and performance with a Radeon R7 250, it is still a good deal considering it is currently on sale for US $529.99.

As a part of Newegg's Black November, Acer's B286HK 28-inch 4K monitor has been offered for as low as US $349, which is quite a deal considering that it can display 4K at 60FPS over DisplayPort 1.2. While it has been sold out quite quickly, this is definitely a sign of things to come now that we are drawing closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Spotted by Brightsideofnews.com, Acer's B286HK 28-inch 4K monitor, which was previously priced at US $699, dropped down to US $349. While it did not offer a lot of value when priced at US $699 but with the new price Acer's B286HK was definitely one heck of a deal.

While it does not have the best panel on the market, Acer's B286HK does offer DVI, MHL, DisplayPort 1.2 and mini DisplayPort outputs as well as tilt, swivel and height adjustements, which is not too bad either.

Unfortunately, the deal appears to be already over and apparently Newegg.com sold out its stock, but it was still a great deal and shows that we might expect some similar deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

UK retailers expect the country to mirror the US and have a cyber-Monday. Cyber Monday is the computer equivalent of Black Friday in the US when there are many good deals available particularly online.

Already this year, Barclaycard reported online shopping is up more than 10 per cent compared to 2012, and credit card firm Visa has predicted today will beat last year’s Cyber Monday by a staggering 16 per cent. The company anticipated £450 million would be spent on its cards alone in more than 7.7 million online transactions.

Internet shopping figures have regularly peaked on the first Monday of December. In the US, the boom has been attributed to workers using their office computers on the first day back after Thanksgiving holidays. But in the UK Cyber Monday is thought to arise following the last payday before Christmas and with consumers having spent the weekend browsing for gifts in shops before buying online. While John Lewis said it expects 80,000 orders today, online-only retailer Amazon is unsurprisingly set to be busiest.

Xavier Garambois, vice president of EU retail at Amazon, told the broadcaster that Cyber Monday has “continued to grow every year.” An average of £312,500 will be spent online every minute on 2 December. The busiest shopping day on the high street often falls two days before Christmas Day, with Monday 23 December and Tuesday 24 December expected to draw peak numbers of shoppers this year.
